Hi Rob,
Heres their Annaul Report for 2003 Sept.
Have a look at page 5 and you will see, how highly geared they area…
http://www.stgeorge.com.au/resources/sgb/downloads/annual_report/2003/sgb_full03.pdf
its quite interesting too…
… could there be a possilbe takeover bid…
my guess… anywhere between, now and the next 18 months…
Cheers,
sisHi Rob,
havent got the figures right infront of me, but i do believe St George is the highest exposed bank, with their asset to debt liabilites, but also that am i talking about a take over bid with in the next 18 months….
give it a little bit more time and i do believe we will see such a takeover bid.
Cheers,
sisHi Guys,
just curious a little bit about St George… their bank and their lending capacity, has put them into a highly geared insitution, but also in a vunerable position.
… what worries me is, that and based on my own research and analytic assumptions(this is only an opinion and should not be taken the wrong way) that i can honestly see a take over bid from some of the stronger lenders and bank insitutions like CBA and NAB with in the next 18 months…
… does anyone see, this as a significant problem, in the later future???
Cheers,
sisAlrightie… Matt….

this game is getting on my nerves now… lol
arghhh….

sisHi Kay,
talking about accountants, you know who my accountant is… but you can imagine, how big our verbal fights and disagreements are, there just not verbal, but swearing and huge arguements, that the whole neighbourhood can here…
… well we both have to completly different opinions and ideas (accountant and me)

sisHi Devilcv8,
here are some suggestions,
- ask family and friends for as much as you can borrow, if thats possible.
- increase credit card limit as soon as possible,
- apply for another credit card,
- im not sure if you bought an investment property, (but if you did, ask the vendor to reduce the price, if further and more possible.)
- personal loan – if possible, but apply quick
- if you can and with your work, see if you can get some pay advance, or cash in some sick days and holiday leave (not, all work places allow you to do this, but it can be done.)
- another possibility is, borrow money through a private lender, though, their personal loan rates are a little higher
hope this helps.
Cheers,
sisThanks to everyone, who can answer this question in advance… still its a triva to me…

sisHi Lizzy,
would you still be able to purchase a property and get the fhog. lets say if this was the scenario.
Some parents, have purchased, a property many years before the introduction of the FHOG. They help their eldest child in purchasing an investment property at the start of this year. (The mother or father, have put their name on the contract and on the loan documentation, in helping their eldest child, get their first invesment property, this year.)
Heres my question, if the son, now wishes to purchases, another property, and make it a PPOR, would he still be able to claim the FHOG, even though, his parents who helped him get his previous investment property…
… would he still be able to claim the FHOG?

sisHi Cars,
i have heard this too, about commercial property, i honestly dont know much about the deferred CGT arrangement, but i do believe you must keep the property for a minimal of 15 years, before you sell it, before your able or in a such position for deferred CGT on commercial property.
… but again, talking to my accountant, there not quite too sure, but they have reassured me, that they have heard something like this before, in what ive mentioned above.

sisHi Marisa,
to me honestly, investing is not an emotional game… its all about figures, and ensuring, that you can make money or a return, on either your cash, equity or what ever sort of deal you pull together.

sisHi Shebb,
you are correct with your answer.

sisHi Guys,
not always, i like to share… really good information… but on this occasion, i just want to point out some main good points about townhouses.
In the last few years, and in the last few months, most of us, would have seen a booming market… prices went up, and buyers were popping up everywhere…
… due to this happening, in some but in many areas… the prices of houses are, well over the reach for many new home or first home buyers…
now thinking laterally, if you cant afford a house as your first home, you tend to purchase, a property that is, similar to a house… which infact, would be the townhouses… everything is there, like a normal house, except for some minor differences, that have been described in above posts.
… this is not a guideline or a suggestion, but if houses are unaffordable in an area, and townhouses are… watch the prices of townhouses increase and steadily incline, due to being the “markets affordable homes” – you will find that townhouses, arent as riduclously priced as single homes…
Cheers,
sisHi Marisa,
well… i dont know, how hot this property is… but the figures definetly stack up….
signed a contract for a townhouse, last week, and now, just waiting now for settlement…
but 2 parts to the story… Chan and me are now neighbours… lol (which is very convinent) and the other happy news is, in the same complex, there was a town house for sale for $45k more than the asking price, on the one, i manage to negotiate down on…
…but, the best news of all, is that townhouses has just sold, and the townhouses are exactly identical, but the asking prices… were on 2 different market ends…

sisHi Mini,

sisHi Celivia,
funny you mention that… there was a gentlmen, i was sitting near by, who seemed to know a thing or 2 about property…
so.. quickly a conversation, striked up… and you wouldnt believe who this guy was….
… he was one of, Victor Ollis… sales reps… unbelievable… and im very surprised still that V.O. is still operating those free property weekenders…. i dont know what it is, about these seminars… but they always seem to attract the bad crowd… that then use the same principles and techniques they were taught… and then go out and rip people off…
Cheers,
sisHi Yack,
yesterday, i attended the free midday seminar that was held. Did get to meet and shake hands with Robert Allen, but he is another Henry Kaye…
(he walked into the audience, shook many of our hands, and was sucking up… you know, the type that would introduce himself and greet you with his handshakes… and with his fake $1 million dollar US Bills)
… problem is, he got at least a minimal of 50 audience members, from the session, in which i was in, to sign up and workout some type of payment plan of $5000 each… and he believes he can guarantee you, that he can turn you into a millionaire in one year….
…. another one of his, nothing down stories, sorry but, i didnt like him at all, after the way he had the audience at the end of their seats, with his slick marketing skills, he got them to sign up and most likely secured them into his $5000 deals he was offering…
… but, i do definetly see… the ASIC and ACCC catching on to him very soon….
